Tip

The built-in web app offers API to interact with Mihari. The API docs are available on /redoc-static.html.

mihari sidekiq

This command is for starting Sidekiq. See Sidekiq for details.

$ mihari help sidekiq
Usage:
  mihari sidekiq

Options:
      [--env=ENV]              # Environment
                               # Default: production
  -c, [--concurrency=N]        # Sidekiq concurrency
                               # Default: 5

Hints

Mihari provides listing/search feature via CLI & API.

Search query supports AND, OR, :, =, !=, <, <=, >, >=, NOT and ().

Searchable fields are:

Type Searchable fields
alert id, tag, created_at, rule.id, rule.title, rule.description, artifact.data, artifact.data_type, artifact.source and artifact.query
artifact id, data, data_type, source, query, tag, rule.id, rule.title, rule.description, tag,created_at, asn, country_code, dns_record.value, dns_record.resource, reverse_dns_name, cpe, vuln and port
rule id, title, description, tag, created_at and updated_at
tag id and name

Examples

mihari rule list "description:foo OR title:bar"
mihari alert list "rule.id:foo"
mihari artifact list "rule.id: foo AND data_type:ip"

Search With Transformation

Additionally you can search rules, alerts and artifacts with transformation by using Jbuilder.

mihari rule list-transform -t /path/to/template
mihari alert list-transform -t /path/to/template
mihari artifact list-transform -t /path/to/template

For example, you can combine IP addresses and ports by using the following template.

ip_port.json.jbuilder

ip_ports = results.map do |artifact|
  artifact.ports.map do |port|
    "#{artifact.data}:#{port.number}"
  end
end.flatten

json.array! ip_ports
mihari artifact list-transform -t /path/to/ip_port.json.jbuilder

A template can use the following attributes.

Key Type Desc.
results Array[Mihari::Models::Rule], Array[Mihari::Models::Alert], Array[Mihari::Models::Artifact] or Array[Mihari::Models::Tag] A list of search results
total Integer A total number of search results
page_size Integer A page size
current_page Integer A current page number

Warning

With great power comes great responsibility.

Jbuilder can execute anything with the same privilege Mihari has. Do not use untrusted template.
